I was sent this and although don’t normally post my private stuff, this I feel is a must.
This guy is not mgtow but he gets it.
I have removed any parts that can identify him so it’s not the full mail:
“Guys.
Us older men have a lot to offer the younger ones among you. We have experience and wide understanding of the ways of humanity. We can guide and advise. We can work with you, and maybe even be role models for you through what we have done in our lives.
BUT (and it is a BIG but) you must not let us blunt your power!
Younger men have energy, strength, inventiveness, dignity, ideals – and those are the things that change the world. Just one man’s lifetime ago, even before the oldest of us was born, young men stormed the beaches of Normandy and achieved the impossible. Sure, the old men devised the strategy, but it was the fit, strong, magnificently brave young men, their sergeants and lieutenants, probably full of fear but also full of hell and sheer determination, who did the job.
Turning and swimming with the tide? Bugger that for a game of soldiers. That’s women’s ways. I met Warren Farrell and talked with him at the Detroit conference in 2014. He’s an OK guy, but he’s a child of the swinging sixties when all this s~~~ started. (I am too, incidentally, although I never bought any of it). It is my generation that embraced the culture that spawned the evil scourge that is now among us, and I can tell you that it is not going to stop unless it is stopped. And that is a job that will fall to the current generation of men in their twenties, thirties and forties.
What is going on is wrong. It is human oppression being attempted by a weaker group in society who have gained unrighteous power in the land, and the only way that is going to be overturned is with resistance, fuelled by righteous anger in young, strong, clear-minded men, who say no. (And, incidentally, MGTOW is not turning and swimming downstream. It is passive, implacable resistance IMHO. Men going their own way are just saying ‘I’m not playing your game’, and therein is massive strength – in autonomy. Nobody can get to you when your’e like that. Ultimately, women need men more than men need women, and what man in his right mind would want the kind of woman on offer today?
Frankly, I don’t think we need to be anguishing about labels. We don’t need labels. The term MRA is one largely given to what we are doing by others who think labels define people. Who cares? The only banner we need is truth and right. That’s all.
The more I read these exchanges, the more I am excited to see such thoughtfulness, intelligence and decency. If what you guys are building spontaneously could be replicated across the country, the tide would be turned, I am sure. A connected network of men needs to be built. D H Lawrence talked about ‘the freemasonry of manhood’ that the gardener Mellors and the landed gent whose daughter he was doing in the woods were able to establish between each other. We all need to find that male freemasonry, and use it for mutual support, fellowship and even comfort in what I have no doubt will come to a fight – a struggle by men for their freedom.
Social networks are powerful. People in common cause need to ‘wander, bump and scrape’ off each another, as one writer on the subject put it. They need to meet, talk, laugh, joke with each other and generally ‘smell the animal’. That’s how male social groups work. That’s why meeting is important, and why the upcoming conference in London in July is important (I went 6k miles to do it in Detroit, where I met Warren Farrell, Dean Esmay, Paul Elam, Karen Straughan, Erin Pizzey, etc.) When you meet people face to face, you get a far better understanding of whom you can trust and work with – and you build more connections. In Detroit, I even met a guy in the same hotel who lived less than two miles from where I live! Can you believe that? Amazing.
I’ve banged on a bit, so I’ll stop.
My very best to all.”
